The Project

The site is located in east County Clare within the Sleive Aughty  Mountains adjacent to the Gort to Tulla Road.  The proposal is to install eight x 3MW turbines that will produce enough electricity to power 22,000 Irish houses.    

The site is on land owned by Coillte and is planted entirely with mature conifers.  The conifers will be felled and an application will be made to return the site to a natural state.   The proposed project replaces an original concept which utilized land to the west of the Coillte site.  

Ventus Energy have pledged that an annual community fund will be provided when the project is operational.

The planning application was lodged in April 2007 with a provisional construction date during 2008 to 2009.
